The buffer stock is maintained in case of an unprecedented demand for naloxone arising, that would exceed the capacity of business-as-usual stock, for instance due to an incident of unusually harmful opioids. Such an incident has not arisen to date. The Government remains committed to maintaining this vital precautionary measure, and would authorise the release of buffer stock supplies when needed.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 22/04/2024 09:53:25 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom previous answer version 28861 answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
